After a downgrade by Goldman Sachs and a reduction in the bank's target price from 23 € to 18 € shares in Suedzucker are down substantially this week. In light of the movement's force a near-term turnaround in the share price is unlikely. Rather, a continuation of the downward movement towards 19 € should be priviledged by investors.
